Art Nouveau Necklace Filigree and Pressed Glass

This is a beautiful Art Nouveau or transitional Art Deco necklace with a foliate filigree design and pressed glass stones. The stones are an unusual very bright orange, and were probably intended to imitate carved coral. The pendant portion of the necklace is suspended from a fancy chain with four decorative links interspersed. The metal appears to be silver over brass. It fastens with a fishhook style catch.

The necklace measures 17 inches and the pendant portion measures 1 1/4 inches by 2 inches. It is in very good vintage condition with some surface wear particularly to the catch.
